You are now q laughing little girl,
with pretty eyes, innocent and truel
Your hair you always like TO curl
You pretty little girl-you know you do.
At ten years old you mcaner grow,
And the other girls laugh At you;
You can't deny IL. for 'tis 40
You girl Of ten-you know You do.
You lose the einterost in all your books.
Your hours for music are very fewi
You like the boys just for their looks
You tiny young girl-you know you do.
AZ sweet sixteen you're worse than ever,
Aud oitn think OF the hearts you've slew,
still your love with one you sever
And. oh, you cry-you know you do.
Now, that you have older grown,
And most all OF the tricks gone through
You repent Of all, with an awful groAn-
And wish you ghsdn't-you know you do.
'Tis trae, lover you have won,
And you think lots Of i'm, tooi
IT'S no time for play. no time for fun--
You love i'm well-you know you do
when someone steps comes up the walk
Your cheeks take on a roster hue.
And though no other hears his knock
You hear It well--you know you do.
When "someone" talks about the grain.
And bows TO pa, yet looks at.you,
You see his glances, ahl 'tis plain
And give them baok--you know you do.
And though It may be very wrong,
When papa is quite ignored for youi
You sing for him your prettlest song--
You cunning thing--you know you do.
And when he talks Of other girls,
ofhAtefui Mary and Jennie, tooi
You hing at him your auburn ourls--
You jealous thing--you know you do.
Yor keep your eye upon the clock.
And wish 'twould jump an hour or two,
SO that yourpa would cease his talk
And go to bed--you do you know you do.
And when the folks to bed have gone,
And left "someone" alone with you,
You wish the clock would stop its tongue
Or you stop it--you know you DO.
lie bushes deep and looks afraid,
To De thus LEFT alone with you,
But your eyes tell there ne'er was mAid--
But could be wooed--you know they do.
You peep At someone meath your curls
Until with love you burn him through,
And make him hate all other girls
In love for you--yo know you do.
And when his arms steal round your chair
You give a smothered scream or two.
Asifyou didn't want Il there
But, OH you do--you know you do.
You nestle closer up to him,
Your head drops on his shoulder, toOi
You think It nice to have q "Jim"--
You naughty thing--you know You do.
You let him kiss your blushing cheeks.
Somehow your lips meet his lips, tooi
You tempt him, silly thing, TO speak
You wicked iirt--you know you do.
And when he tlmIdly doth press,
His wish TO make a wife Of you,
With happy heart you answer yea"
You darling girl--you know you do.
Now, that you are married, girl.
You often tell things untruei
With madness you give lin whlrl--
To try your luek-you know you do.
when he comes home at night,
All sglow with good words for you,
You always say he's come home tight
You wife--you know you do.
In the morning, when he leaves his room,
With black eye and shoulders blue,
Through fear, You hang away the broom
And "skip"--you know you do.
You 20. and for divorce apply,
Say with married life you're through;
But ere day with another man you a.
OH you do--you know you do.
